Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

Better Control With More Food: Continuous Provision of Alternative Food Enhances Thrips Control by Predatory Mites

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

First Record of Larval Parasitism in Disonycha glabrata (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) by Myiopharus ancilla (Walker) (Diptera: Tachinidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amaranth flea beetle, Disonycha glabrata (F.), is a major pest of amaranth crops (Amaranthus spp.) in the United States. Despite its economic impact, its natural enemy complex remains poorly documented. In this study, we report the first record of larval parasitism in D. glabrata by the tachinid fly Myiopharus ancilla (Walker).
